Headline check

Headline as published: Australia’s wealth gap is growing and so is the anger over it. How do we fix this absolutely hopeless state of affairs? | Zoe Daniel

The one thing this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

  • “Zoe Daniel” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked

This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 837-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.

How this outlet filed it, and how we rewrote it

No other newsroom we read has filed on this event, so there is nothing to compare it with yet.
